Hello! I cannot seem to find a way to create a new _user_ on a HubSpot portal using the API. Googling and searching the forum gives me various ways to create new contacts, but I’m looking for a way to create a new _user_. If there’s a way to do this without manually adding every single user, it would be great. ---

Hi [@raihan](https://community.hubspot.com/u/raihan) We don’t currently have an API to create users, so you’ll need to create the users through the HubSpot app. ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/3/23ea0ff39f94745d32876853337d2fc1c4039be4.png) [knowledge.hubspot.com](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/account/how-do-i-add-a-user-to-my-account) ![Add-User-.png#keepProtocol.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/1/d/1d22a21f58b905062e950abc0d7439c71d29b6a5.png) ### [How do I add a user to my account?](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/articles/kcs_article/account/how-do-i-add-a-user-to-my-account) Learn how you can add a new user to your HubSpot account and set permissions for the user. ---

Hi [@boris\_pustilnik](https://community.hubspot.com/u/boris_pustilnik) and [@marketfresh](https://community.hubspot.com/u/marketfresh), It is still not possible to create HubSpot users through an API, however it _is_ now possible to create multiple users at once via CSV or Salesforce import. I will pass this feedback along internally again, but the [HubSpot Community Ideas Forum](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas) is the best place to share feature requests. The product teams regularly monitor posts and generally prioritize ideas which have the most engagement from and greatest potential impact on users. If you would like such a users API added, please upvote and comment on this existing feature request: [REST API FOR USERS AND TEAMS](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/REST-API-FOR-USERS-AND-TEAMS/idi-p/25772). I’ve just upvoted it myself. I recommend including as much detail as possible per [these best practices](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Community-Guidelines/HubSpot-Idea-Exchange-Submission-Guidelines/m-p/11670#M10). The more the product teams understand a feature’s use case, the more accurate they will be when scoping the feature. Thank you for your understanding. I will close this topic to maximize feedback on [this idea](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/REST-API-FOR-USERS-AND-TEAMS/idi-p/25772). ---

It is completely unacceptable that this is not yet a feature. ---

Do you have an ETA for when support for inserting/updating/deleting Hubspot users via the API? ---

Do Hubspot provide this feature? After this long time atleast? ---

Hi, @jeswanth 👋 It is possible to provision a User via the [Settings API — User Provisioning](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/settings/user-provisioning). You’ll make a request to `POST /settings/v3/users/` Please note (from the example documentation) – “New users will only have _minimal permissions_, which is **contacts-base**. A welcome email will prompt them to set a password and log in to HubSpot.” Have fun building! — Jaycee ---

This is a nice addition, but provision for us would also mean being able to update all relevant data on the User, such as photo, language, phone number. IE anything that a user can see [User Preferences | HubSpot](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/0000000/user-preferences/profile) ---

Is is possible now to create new User through API ?
